Engstrom was reassigned to AHL Laval on Wednesday.
Engstrom was scratched for two straight games, so a demotion to the Rocket shouldn't come as a surprise. He appeared in two games while with the Canadiens, logging two shots on net, two blocked shots and a hit. It's unclear if he'll be called up again prior to Saturday's game versus the Maple Leafs.

Engstrom has been recalled by the Canadiens from AHL Laval, the team announced Sunday
One day after recording five points for AHL Laval, Engstrom has been brought up to join the NHL club. The 22-year-old has 14 points (five goals, nine assists) in 18 games at the AHL level. Should he appear in a game with the Canadiens, it would be the first NHL appearance of his career. Whether that will happen remains to be seen considering Montreal's six defensemen are pretty set at the moment.
